Process Management In Windows
All I need to do is run a windows batch file from a small php program, and
return the windows process id of the batch file. I have played around with
proc_open() but that returns a resource id. Does anyone have a suggestion

Want To Spawn Process From Windows PHP
I wanted to write some code purely on Linux, but unfortunately the document scanner drivers are non-existent for the high-end commercial document scanners. So, I had to port my Linux PHP project to Windows PHP (WAMP). There, I found a scanning tool (Kodak Image Scan - imgscan.ocx) that I can put on a VB form, tell it to scan some documents into a TIF file, and then shut down. I can run this VB app at command line just fine, but when I run it from either a popen(), system(), or exec() call, it won't detach from the PHP page. Instead, it just sits there. I can see the VB exe I made is being loaded properly in RAM, but unfortunately it sticks and won't unload on its own, nor will it tell the scanner to engage. I have to kill the VB exe and then the PHP page continues. What's the way to spawn a detached process from PHP on Windows?

Calling PHP From A Windows Process
I'm calling PHP from a windowsprocess in a simple Webserver application. I'm using the createprocess Windows API command.... C:PhpPHP Filename.php In this file I will open a TCP/IP connection to my SQL-server. When I do so, I always get the following error mysql_connect(): Can't create TCP/IP socket (10106) No I start a command shell and I call the same... C:PhpPHP Filename.php This will work without any error!! Same effect I get from all TCP/IP Actions (FTP etc....) Can somebody help me. Is it a PHP Setting, a server variable or a WindowsXP Access right problem?

DB Management
i've got a mysql table (or set of tables) which are used for logging, when it get's full the request starts to lag while it's searched. Therefore periodically I want to back it up. However, say I set a routine which back's it all up to file and then truncates (as so to reset the id) the table, ok. But say whilst this is being done more entries are added and are not backed up. One point is, a certain period of time worth of log's need to be retained for frequency checking. Considerations: - If an entry is added whilst the table is being truncated, what happens. - If only use delete entry, then at what point does the id run into trouble. - Is it crazy to think about using two tables and just rotate them.

Process ID

Getting Your Own Process ID
I am doing some work where I want to do locking, and prevent scripts from running in parallel. I see that I could use the semaphore mechanism, but I'd like for my code to be portable, and that extension is not enabled in many places. I need some way for a process to uniquely identify itself. It can then look at the storage container (flat file, DB, whatever is appropriate in context), check to see if the requested semaphore is available, and if it is, acquire it and then mark itself as the owner. It can then check that it did in fact get ownership (as opposed to another process which attempted to acquire it at the exact same moment) before proceeding. Code:

Memory Management
I've ran into a problem with my MySQL Class. Otherwise a very useful and easy tool, but when you get to handle large amounts of data with it, it will slow your site down significantly. It contains three functions, from which the SelectAll() is the troublesome 'cause it returns all results of a query. What it basicly does is it piles all data inside array. Each result is an array, inside the main array. This makes it easy to go through with loops. But imagine what happens if I get 10000 results. I've tried to optimize it and basicly the SelectAll() is only a few lines long. Still it slows down. I've tried to search for articles about the issue but nothing, for this kind of thing, has come up.

PHP Memory Management
I'm new to PHP programming (coming from C++); and all is well, except when it comes to memory management. Particularly, with passing objects/arrays in and out of functions. I've had so many unexpected results because of this feature, that I'm almost pissed off, almost. Things like, I have a class, with some callbacks (which default to functions inside the class). But when the default functions were called, $this couldn't see the values of the member variables. I found that my calling array($this, "fun") (for use in a call to call_user_func) was creating a copy of $this and thus it was a copy of the variables. Fixed with a $cb = array(); $cb[0] = &$this; etc... Later, with more problems, I found that $x = new y; made two copies (I've assumed from the testing I'd done). One where it calls the constructor, and then one when it copies it into $x. Fixed with a $x = &new y; (I consider myself lucky to have discovered this as it could very easily have gone unnoticed, had I not been setting up a reference to this in the constructor) Which makes me worry that there are other places I don't know about! ....and lots more of course... I guess with a little more care, it will be obvious where a problem exists, but as I am a newbie, I know it will continue to destroy me. Are there any tools or memory management functions that will allow me to see exactly how many copies of various objects/classes/strings I have. Or a way to dump a memory allocation when it happens or anything. I'm fearful that there may be millions of copies of my classes and such that I won't know about until it gets released - and two users go to the web site at the same time and cause the server to run out of memory. C++ is so much easier, I know exactly what memory is allocated, when and where, and when it will be destroyed. Whoever invented garbage collection and all that; a can of comeuppance upon them (not the good kind).

PHP Website Management
I have just bought a small website written with php & html. The vendors advised me that once I uploaded it to my website I could customise all the templates to give it whatever look I wanted. As a novice, I had no idea how difficult this would be - due to the fact that a php website is very disjointed. Can anyone tell me of any software I can download that will enable me to manage my website so that I can see the structure in it easily and make changes simply.

Using PHP For Session Management

My question is this: I want to have a number of variables, for example $customer_id which are session variables.

I've tried putting $customer_id = $_SESSION['customer_id'], but have found it difficult to rewrite the changed value back into the _SESSION array at the end of the request. Is there any way to get around this ? I'm running PHP in a CGI mode under IIS ....

Serious Memory Management
I have a PHP page that reads emails from an email account, parses them, processes the resulting information, and then sends out a response. I am in the process of testing it right now, and I am using a small sample (11 emails). I expect, when the site is fully functional, that I could be processing hundreds of emails at a time. I am running the site on a managed server that is dedicated, so I have a fair amount of memory. Unfortunately, I get a fatal error: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 41943040 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 6 bytes) in funcs_parse_emails.php on line 48 after only six emails. Clearly, if I am using up 42 megabytes, I have a serious problem. Is there someone out there who can point me to a book or website that discusses PHP memory management issues or provides tools I can use?

There should be no need to explain my code because php is browser independent. What's happening is that when I enter the user/pw on the login page, (assuming correct usr/pw pair) I get re-directed to the main admin page (index.php). that part works. However, clicking on a nav link sends me back to the login (as if the $_SESSION['user'] variable was never set).

PHP Load Process
I've tried searching around for information on how PHP parses and renders itself. Basically, I'm writing a bunch of scripts that rely on a core file. The core itself is quite large (around 20k), but the scripts that reference it don't often utilise the entire contents of the core. Inside the core are functions that are never called *inside* the core, and a bunch of constants and globals that I call from the referencing scripts. So I guess in a nutshell, I want to know if when I call require, does PHP read the *entire* file? Or does it only read the bits it needs? I realise that last sentence makes me sound like I have trouble putting legos together, but I would just like to know how PHP goes about it duty.
